I liked it. I went to watch it two times with my friends when I was like 13 years old
Huey Duck ass little homie
He was an annoying little shit, thinking that the sky was falling and that his Fish friend somehow "seeked danger" even though he was just a muffled little spastic. Rip off.
okay, you know when you're watching a simpsons season 12 episode
and it's still funny, it's fine, but you can see all the seeds of everything that was going to go wrong for the next 2 decades?
i laughed at more steven universe jokes than chicken little jokes
All the tropes of 3D movies with none of the charm.
because the dad. many homosexuals project themselves with the MC for their own problems with their parents, so they started hating the movie because it shows the reality or maybe what they think reality is
aside of that. the movie is generic, boring but not to be hated
why do I keep seeing this movie being mentioned everywhere
Because it's now nostalgic and trending. Mark Dindal has better movies than this one, honestly.
No it was pretty shit. You're just a zoomer who grew up watching it.
I remember liking it and specifically because of the 70s music
this film was a direct indictment of barack obama, and therefore disney couldn't reframe the movie's approach to audiences. the sky falling at the time was pretty nonsensical and family fun. now we know he ruined everything.
hes like conspiratards now
Looks ugly, has instantly outdated cultural references, has unlikeable characters, and is just generally not a good movie. It doesn't have any "good parts" to make up for all its issues. At least Home on the Range was 2D and had a yodeling villain.
It's been a while since I last seen it. I remember playing the Playstation game that came out about this movie and somewhat enjoying it
Alameda Slim was extremely charming, I think the Chicken Little antagonists were just ayys that thought their son was kidnapped, right?
I stopped caring about Disney after Tarzan, though in hindsight I discovered that Lilo & Stitch, Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis, and Treasure Planet are still good.
I stopped caring about Pixar after Up
Its weird, this movie triggers tf out of a lot of cartoon reviewers and general animation autists for some odd fricking reason.
I watched in theaters as a kid and liked it, and re-watched it as an adult and didn't really think of it as an offensively bad film or anything, just painfully mediocre but there are apparently a lot of people that treat it as if its fricking Two Girls One Cup or some shit.
It's because it was the start of a string of Disney CG films. Aside from being a bad movie, Chicken Little represents the end of an era. The end of 2D. It's the first time you can tell "oh yeah, Disney watched Shrek".
Was Chicken Little really Disney's first CG movie?
First fully in-house one. Dinosaur was animated by a short-lived effects unit called the Secret Lab, but got lumped into Disney's animated canon when Secret Lab was shuttered and folded into the main animation studio after Wild Life was cancelled.
it had poor pacing
This movie is apparently very popular amongst black people. As someone who is also black and was unabashedly a fan of this movie as a child…
Honestly that was news to me, I just thought child me had bad taste once I got exposed to internet reviews and memes trashing the movie.
> Popular with blacks
Huh?
...
Oh, I see.
Because chicken.
It's because itWAS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER A FOUR COURSE MEAL OF NO SIRREE
It seemed that happily ever after
Was happy everyone was after me
It was a cup of good intentions... a tablespoon of one big mess
I watched it as a kid and thought it was okay. It wasn't amazing, but wasn't awful.
self projection towards the abusive father
>So why did everyone hate Chicken Little? I don't remember it being offensively bad or anything
I thought great movie
Everyone's talked about Buck Little being a shit dad so the real meat and potatos: It's very mediocre. Not a bad film, not a good film, just "Very ok".
If you want anything to distract the kids, this is it.
e-celebs and their homosexualry
Because zoomers cannot and will not imagine the concept that noone likes much less listens to what you got to say if you don't have any social value.
This very simple yet also very important lesson goes over the general audience's heads which of course consist almost entirely of zoomers.
Also:
Daily reminder that zoomers are the worst generation to ever grace this planet.
Yes.
Even worse than the baby boomers because at least they bring something valuable to the table.
What does this generation brings?
Nothing.
They bring nothing.
Because they are nothing.
Something, something... apples falling from trees.
something something is GAY!
On Cinemaphile complaining about muh mids nowadays kek
*Kids
Because it's fricking boring and the jokes are badly written.
Because it was the symbol of Eisner killing off 2D animation at Disney and it was transparently an attempt at trying to get the Shrek audience.
This CGI aged like milk. And the animal jokes were all misses

I remember this movie was very off-putting to me for some reason when I was younger but I haven't seen it in so long.
I never watched it. All I remember is some promotional material where Disney was trying to cynically cash in on the Numa Numa viral video.
It is offensively bad, as well as being a dull and miserable movie.
Also if you were a kid, they fricking faked you out with the trailers, that treated and presented it as the parts with them as kids being a short backstory segment while the main movie would be a cool pulpy sci-fi romp fighting aliens.
Imagine being a like 9-12 year old boy or whatever and getting kinda excited thinking you were gonna get something cool again like Treasure planet or the like again and being excited to see a little loser like you grow up to be a big cool action hero and fight aliens, and then it's the equivalent of torture porn for middleschoolers, a cringey, meanspirited film where the main character is an awkward moron and everyone is an butthole.
Turns out a frickload of kids thought that and were really fricking upset and miserable and the parents actively disliked it as well for being dull, ugly, and meanspirited, and it's been linked to a drop in particularly young boys interest in Disney at that time period a few times.
>trailers
I only remember the marketing exaggerating the porcupine's prominence in the actual film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_4qjCkfSuQ
I liked it.
10/10 for the personality death at the end
I see that you too are a man of culture.
I saw it as a kid but I don't remember much from it. Mediocre and forgettable is worse than being bad imo.
Billions must panic
chocolate supper
released in the middle of a "I'm too old to watch cartoons" social phase
>I don't remember it being offensively bad or anything
You may not remember it but at some point disney movies being bad or below average was unacceptable
People repeat the first information they see or hear. In this case they most likely heard or seen it from a "cartoon reviewer" or from a meme somewhere.
Its like how people "hate" nickleback or how they "love" kurt cobain or some other celebrity cult bullshit.
>Shrek (2001): 83 minutes without credits
>Chicken Little (2005): 74 minutes without credits
It wasn't as good as its main influence
I feel sorry for Mark Dindal. He obviously wanted this to turn out on par with his previous movies (Cats Don't Dance/The Emperor's New Groove), but Disney executives got too involved because of their relationship with Pixar was struggling and because of the success of Shrek 1/2 (plus they knew that Shrek 3 was in development)
>their relationship with Pixar was struggling
This was back when Disney wanted to do sequels to Pixar movies without Pixar's involvement. They were making a version of Toy Story 3 that was totally different from what got in 2010.
Eh, I dunno, people who've made good movies can make bad ones. I can imagine a timeline where The Emperor's New Groove turned out shit because of one or two bad decisions. A scene removed or added here or there, and Kuzco could have been a lot more unlikable.
Hell it was basically a rejection of classic Disney, originally it started out as a much more conventional movie with renaissance era-esque animation but then turned into a wacky comedy full of anachronisms.
It tried to be Shrek, but it wasn't Shrek.
The movie does a good job at outing manchildren who still cry and moan about it and Buck two decades later
buck cluck mcfrick
The dad was an butthole
I remember really like the video game adaptation. I don't really know why I had it or why I played it so much. But there's that.
Did you have funny feelings for the fox woman or the duck woman?
Am I the only one who saw this?
No. I seen it twice in my entire life. What was it about again?
The kid has a magic baseball, and somehow gets Babe Ruth's magic baseball bat that he needs because he can't play without it so he's trying to get the bat to Ruth, goes on a big adventure and I think someone is trying to stop him, I can't remember. I have't seen it in forever too but it pops in my head every time people start talking about Chicken Little
Babe can't play without his pregame bat BJ
Surprised no one has posted Abby or Foxy Loxy's designs from the sci fi game/movie ending
>Foxy Loxy
She got lobotomized.
Why is his forename "Chicken"? Does Buck just HATE his son?
